Matt T. Proud	b3e34c6658	Implement batch database sample curator. ... This commit introduces to Prometheus a batch database sample curator, which corroborates the high watermarks for sample series against the curation watermark table to see whether a curator of a given type needs to be run. The curator is an abstract executor, which runs various curation strategies across the database. It remarks the progress for each type of curation processor that runs for a given sample series. A curation procesor is responsible for effectuating the underlying batch changes that are request. In this commit, we introduce the CompactionProcessor, which takes several bits of runtime metadata and combine sparse sample entries in the database together to form larger groups. For instance, for a given series it would be possible to have the curator effectuate the following grouping: - Samples Older than Two Weeks: Grouped into Bunches of 10000 - Samples Older than One Week: Grouped into Bunches of 1000 - Samples Older than One Day: Grouped into Bunches of 100 - Samples Older than One Hour: Grouped into Bunches of 10 The benefits hereof of such a compaction are 1. a smaller search space in the database keyspace, 2. better employment of compression for repetious values, and 3. reduced seek times.	12 years ago
Matt T. Proud	9e02c2393a	Include generated Protocol Buffer descriptor. ... The Protocol Buffer compiler supports generating a machine-readable descriptor file encoded as a provided Protocol Buffer message type, which can be used to decode messages that have been encoded with it after-the-fact. The generated descriptor also bundles in dependent message types. We can use this to perform forensics on old Prometheus clients, if necessary.	12 years ago
Matt T. Proud	32c0a939b0	New self-sustaining, hermetic build system. ... This should help us produce self-contained artifacts for users as well as lower the hurdles for first-time contributors.	12 years ago
Matt T. Proud	3e97a3630d	Include nascent curator scaffolding. ... The curator doesn't do anything yet; rather, this is the type definition including the anciliary testing scaffold. Improve Makefile and Git developer experience. The top-level Makefile was a bit overloaded in terms of generation of assets and their management. This has been offloaded into separate Makefiles. The Git developer experience sucked due to lack of .gitignore policies. Also: Fix faulty skiplist naming from old merge.	12 years ago
